Note: These chords are not intended to represent exactly what is being played on the recording. There are a
lot of notes moving up and down within single chords in this song, so I have tried to reflect that
using familiar chord shapes. In any case, it's certainly not perfect so feel free to fool around with it.

[Intro]
 
G G/C G D7/F# G
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                  Am7     Am7/G
They don't seem to know you,
D7/F#                  G   G/C   G
Although they say they do.
G                         Am7      Am7/G
And though they ask those questions,
D7/F#                     G   G/C   G
You can't believe they're true.
 
[Chorus 1]
 
G G/F# Em
 
Em                  Em/C
Just in case you're doubted,
Em/C#                 Em/C
Your answers won't be heard.
Em                Em/C        Em/C#
For you cannot retrieve them
     Em/C              Am    Em
Even though they're only words.
 
Em
 
G C/G G
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                     Am7     Am7/G
Your eyes are full of stardust,
D7/F#                   G    G/C    G
Your hearts are made of tears.
G                 Am7       Am7/G
If only you could tell them
D7/F#            G    G/C    G
About the lonely years.
 
[Chorus 2]
 
G G/F# Em
 
Em              Em/C
But even as you stand there,
Em/C#         Em/C
You realize again
Em               Em/C      Em/C#
That even if you wanted,
      Em/C     Em/B        Am   Em
No words could sound the same.
 
Em
 
G C/G G
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                 Am7     Am7/G
So gather up your sadness
D7/F#             G   G/C   G
And lock it all away.
G                   Am7    Am7/G
There is a brighter hour,
D7/F#            G    G/C    G
There is another day.
 
[Chorus 3]
 
G G/F# Em
 
Em                  Em/C
The hours can go so slowly
Em/C#               Em/C
And nothing's as it seems,
Em       Em/C             Em/C#
And everything you wanted
   Em/C   Em/B            Em
Is lost among your dreams.
